Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) president Mayawati on Friday hit out at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party for taking money via “illegal” electoral bonds, and said both the saffron party and the Congress were responsible for “politicising” the central agencies.

The Bahujan Samaj Party chief asserted that her party “did not take a single penny” through electoral bonds, which she said was declared illegal by the Supreme Court.

“The BJP has become a party of the wealthy but has done nothing for the poor, Dalits and backward classes. The BJP has given hollow guarantees and it would be difficult for it to retain power at the Centre if the elections are held in a free and fair manner,” she added.
She went on to accuse the saffron party as well as the Congress of politicising all central investigative agencies.

Mayawati also claimed that quota in government jobs for Dalits, tribals and other backward classes has not been filled in the past year.

Polling in both the Lok Sabha seats will be held on May 13.
